THE COl COLLECTlON VOLUME ONE
POLlCE AND THIEVES
EstabIished in 1946, the CentraI Office of lnformation (COI) was a successor to the wartime Ministry of lnformation and was responsibIe for producing thousands of fiIms which celebrated Britain, its peopIe and their achievements.
This first volume in the COl CoIIection expIores the subjects of poIicing, crime, deIinquency, and the justice system. A variety of styles and genres - incIuding story documentary, pubIic information shorts and cinemagazines - were empIoyed to deIivery crime prevention messages and boIster recruitment. Highlights incIude: Children on Trial (1946), an approved school drama set in a progressive and enlightened system; Youth Club (1954), which proposed a soIution to keeping Britain's young people out of trouble; Help YourseIf (1950), a no-nonsense crime prevention film; Man on the Beat (1956) and The British Policeman (1959), in which the locaI bobby comes armed with a friendly smiIe. Together, these films provide a wonderful record of British Iife in a seemingly more innocent age.
